Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling.
